You would also lose support for lots of common and useful hardware like ata hard disks, most CD-ROMs/DVDs etc. and USB storage since these all use the SCSI infrastructure in the kernel. > 2)Why my initramfs is too big?

The -H/--hostonly options cause dracut to only include the set of modules that are needed to boot the running system (i.e. the image is tailored to the host on which dracut is run).
